The road from Launceston to Hobart roughly follows the same route originally carved out by convicts in the early 1800s. Although many of the original colonial townships have been bypassed for the convenience of a quicker trip, the beautifully crafted sandstone buildings and bridges still haven't moved, and make fantastic stopovers to break up the long drive.

Pass through Cambeltown, Ross to see the second oldest Bridge in Australia & Female Factory ruins, Kiki's room at the famous Ross Bakery, Oatlands to see the Windmill & Brighton's Barracks. Picnic in the caves at Chauncy Vale Wildlife Santuary, play with the wildlife at Bonorong Wildlife Park, Watch the animals sculpted out of the plants whiz by or spot the iron bushrangers embedded permanently on the banks of the highway.
